Un séjour exceptionnel aux Ballons!
Merci à Monsieur Guyard et son équipe pour l'accueil ! On se sent très vite à l'aise dans ce magnifique domaine. Adultes et enfants ont trouvé leur place. Le lieu est parfaitement sécurisé pour les enfants. Les sportifs (et les autres) apprécieront le cadre et la richesse des équipements. Bravo à Monsieur Chigne pour sa discrétion et l'entretien du parc magnifique dominant la Charente. Nous reviendrons avec un immense plaisir !

Marvellous
Les Ballons was a wonderful experience! All the amenities that were advertised were made available for our group's use. It is an ideal location for a large group of travellers & we would definitely visit there again. Dave

Superbe maison, jardins magnifiques, splendide piscine
Une magnifique demeure avec des espaces de vie nombreux (une grande cuisine fonctionnelle, une bibliothèque dense (BD et livres, jeux de société), bureau, salle à manger, salon, chambres,...). Mais le must reste l'extérieur, avec ce jardin multiple (tennis, poulailler, potager, parc, terrasse sur la Charente) et un espace piscine splendide, avec verger au fond et pigeonnier/salle de jeux. Un cadre de séjour parfait.

En famille aux Ballons (17 personnes), Août 2018
Le Manoir des Ballons est une belle propriété. Le logis offre des pièces nombreuses et spacieuses. La cuisine est bien équipée. A noter que la chambre au-dessus du pool house est une solution peu confortable car les toilettes extérieures sont loin. Le parc est vaste et varié. La piscine de très belles dimensions permet natation et jeux. Le jardin et le poulailler fournissent légumes et oeufs frais. De nombreuses activités tant sportives que cérébrales sont disponibles. Les 8 enfants de 13 à 4 ans n’ont pas réclamé de jouer sur les tablettes ! Tennis pas cher, canoë, paddle, acrobranche sont proches. Monsieur Guyard répond volontiers à toutes les questions. Son assistant qui entretient le domaine est très compétent, très aimable en restant discret. Nous conservons un excellent souvenir de ce séjour.

Lovely Chateau for a Family Vacation
We have just returned from a family holiday staying at this impressive chateau. Driving through the gates, the extensive grounds and the buildings themselves, with vines creeping up and along the stone walls, are most impressive. To the left is the swimming pool, which is great: clean and deep, and a very decent size. We loved it. Going into the main house itself, clearly this was a dearly loved family home, with cherished momentos throughout. However, as an offering priced at a relatively premium level, some issues that we would consider basic ‘must haves’ were lacking. Addressing these would have transformed our experience: • The entire interior, in particular the kitchen and the bathrooms, needs a thorough deep clean. The kitchen is very well equipped – with multiple culinary devices (although, with superb boulangeries nearby, we recommend leaving bread making for another time!). However, the level of dust and cobwebs indicated it hadn’t had a thorough clean for some time. • Similarly, the bathrooms need a serious overhaul (and clean). At this price point, we would expect fittings to be in good working order (a shower head that is supported in its holder, a toilet seat that is not rickety and flaking) • In addition, several of the beds, both frames and mattresses, could do with being replaced. • There were several bicycles that we could use, but each needed attention before this could be considered: luckily one of us had brought basic tools, so we could inflate the tyres, align the wheels and brakes, lubricate the bearings etc. Even so, we could not describe the rides as comfortable, and it is certain that we would have used them far more if they had been well-serviced and maintained (or not mentioned at all - in which case we could have considered bringing or hiring our own bikes) The dishwasher broke and we are grateful for our host’s rapid response to getting it fixed. There is ample outside games equipment. The gas bbq was excellent and got daily use and feeding the chickens/harvesting the vegetables was delightful. The lovely local area provides numerous opportunities to enjoy the Charente river (kayaking, paddle boarding etc). We all enjoyed it! It is telling that all the adults concluded the same: that we would happily return to the area, but not to the property. It is stunning, with enormous potential, but if it is to be used as an income-generating asset, we expected the basics to have been thoroughly covered.

Dear Sarah, We always learn from your guests, and we also always try to offer them a great experience - it looks like by the harshest reviews in the last 15 years we did not completely succeed with you. As mentioned , it is a family place, not a business , and the rental is only taking place to cover the cost of running a big place with a bigger garden - and mistakes can take place sometimes. One thing , for anyone who knows the countryside's life, cobwebs ( and dust) can re-appear very quickly ( in few hours ) despite the thorough cleaning of the house I personally supervised before your arrival. Nevertheless, thank you for raising the few points about the bathroom shower head and the toilet seat, which have been replaced since . Nevertheless, we are happy to read that you enjoyed the facilities offered by the estate, and that you liked the area !

Amazing holiday location!
The photographs of this property on the website do NOT do it justice - the house, the grounds, the facilities (especially the pool), its proximity to the Charente and excellent shops in Ruffec make it a perfect location for a family holiday. Although Mr Guyard was not present, he answered all of my queries promptly via email.

John et sa famille ont été particulièrement sympathiques et ce fut un vrai plaisir de les recevoir aux Ballons ! Nous sommes heureux que leur séjour se soit bien passé , et qu’ils aient pu découvrir la Charente et ses activités, apprécier la propriété, la piscine ou le jardin potager - Nous prenons bonne note de leur conseil en ce qui concerne les photos ( je reconnais mes piètres talents de ce côté-là...) ! John et sa famille seront toujours les bienvenus s’ils désirent revenir ! Kindest regards Nicolas

Fantastic accommodation and facilities at Les Ballons, all our family loved it! Definitely go back!
We had a fantastic holiday experience at Les Ballons, we were a party of 8 adults (including one disabled) and 7 children, and the house easily accommodated us all, as well as a very impressive house we where all also blown away by the facilities on offer, we made regular use of the excellent pool, bar area, mountain bikes, tennis and badminton courts, table tennis, bbq, 5 a-side football area, and we even tried a bit of fishing down at the river, and the walled and gated gardens meant it was also great and safe for the kids to play and explore as they wished, . We would highly recommend Les Ballons to anyone wanting a great family or group holiday, and the owner was also very helpful and flexible throughout the whole experience, thanks again Nicolas!
